Craig: Working with just your example, using time zones Map[Function[ DateString[ #1, If[Last[#1] < 2, TimeZone -> -6, TimeZone -> -5]]], Map[Function[DatePlus[{2010, 1, 1, 1}, {#1, "Hour"}]], Range[1728, 1738]]] {Sun 14 Mar 2010 01:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 03:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 04:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 05:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 06:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 07:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 08:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 09:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 10:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 11:00:00,Sun 14 Mar 2010 12:00:00} Hans -----Original Message----- From: W Craig Carter [mailto:ccarter at mit.edu] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2012 12:52 AM To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg124490] Daylight savings time in DatePlus. Hello, I need to account for daylight savings time in list of data representing each hour in year 2010. I would like to correlate that with other data taken at 15 second intervals in the same year. In 2010 daylight savings time in the US began on 14 March 2AM. DateDifference[{2010, 1, 1, 1}, {2010, 3, 14, 1}, "Hour"] (*1728 hours after beginning of year*) DateString /@ (DatePlus[{2010, 1, 1, 1}, {#, "Hour"}] & /@Range[1728, 1738]) (*doesn't reflect that 3AM should follow 1AM*) In hindsight, this is not surprising because daylight savings time shifts are not standardized intranationally or internationally. I don't see any clever work-around. Does anyone else? Craig W Craig Carter Professor of Materials Science, MIT
